New and Noteworthy in Mexico
A look at what's underway at Blue Diamond Resorts, Hilton and Playa, and UNICO 20'87'

The one thing about Mexico that agents can count on is that new resorts and experiences are constantly being unveiled—which is, of course, the case for 2020.
Here’s a look at developments from Blue Diamond Resorts, Hilton and Playa Hotels & Resorts and AIC Hotel Group's UNICO 20 87.
Blue Diamond Resorts
The company plans to open the brand-new Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Cancun in spring 2020. Located in Costa Mujeres just outside Cancun, the new all-inclusive resort will feature 898 suites, authentic Hollywood memorabilia and entertainment-themed experiences.
The family-friendly property will include a kids club, the new JUMP trampoline park, a mini-golf course, a lazy river and a water park with the FlowRider surf simulator. It also will feature 10 à la carte restaurants, one international buffet, nine bars and a café.
The beachfront resort will be the first Planet Hollywood property to offer Adult Scene, a new adults-only resort within-a-resort concept. Adult Scene will include 332 luxury suites, private beach and pool areas with waiter service, exclusive check-in, two specialty restaurants and access to all the amenities at the Planet Hollywood resort.
Clients who upgrade to STAR Class will gain the services of a Personal Agent who can help make dinner and spa reservations and arrange for in-room liquors and snacks.
Families who book an Entourage Suite, which sleeps four, by March 31 can bring along two kids for free.
